Job description

This role is based in New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We're looking for someone who's excited to work alongside the team during those days.

This role sits on Notion's Creative Studio, a small team of designers, illustrators, and filmmakers. Our work tells the story of our offering in a way that reflects the products themselves: smart, refined, and with a dash of wit on the side.

As a Brand Designer, you'll work on high-impact brand initiatives and campaigns: setting direction from early strategy through final execution, partnering closely with stakeholders and executives, and raising the bar for craft and systems. You'll be asked to define approaches, resolve ambiguity, and influence both project outcomes and how the team works.

What you'll be doing

• Concept, art direct and design high-visibility moments from brand campaigns, product launches, and events, developing approaches that can scale across a broad range of surfaces, moments, and channels.
• Contribute to our brand systems and develop standards and tooling that improve velocity and consistency for teammates near and far.
• Mentor and raise the bar for other designers and creative partners through feedback, critique, and patterns that make great work repeatable.

What we're looking for

• 10+ years in an agency or in-house environment, with demonstrated leadership on ambiguous, complex, high-impact work.
• A strong portfolio of work that's culturally resonant and visually diverse, and that showcases your ability to tell stories across many channels.
• A deep commitment to systems thinking, typographic excellence, and sensitivity to small details.
• Experience working with a broad range of makers. You've teamed up with illustrators, animators, copywriters, filmmakers, photographers, and beyond to bring your ideas to life.
• Excellent partnership skills. You can work hand-in-hand with cross-functional stakeholders, drive alignment, and make pragmatic tradeoffs.
• A tinkerer's mindset. You're curious about how your tools are evolving and have a strong perspective on how AI can expand creative expression and drive production. You'll actively experiment with new AI workflows to concept, prototype, and push our design systems further.

What's on offer

• Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits.
• For roles based in New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $200,000 – $250,000 per year. The compensation offered will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role's scope and complexity, and the candidate's experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided.
